Ho-Lee-Crap.
Bruce Lee was the most intense human being that ever existed, no questions asked.
If you still aren't convinced, read this article about him.
Seriously, how much more awesome can you get? How can you apply this to your Japanese? How can you apply this to your life?
If you always put limits on things you can or can't do, you'll never exceed those limits. If you say "I can't learn that many kanji" or "I can't learn all those words," then surely you won't be able to do them.
It's like Henry Ford said: "If you think you can do a thing or think you can't do a thing, you're right."
The same thing goes for Japanese. Can you do it? Sure you can (as long as you decide it to be true).
Cheers!
